Come bless the Lord.

The earth is LORD’s [YHWH’s], and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Psalms 24:1

Thank You for Your creation and for making those of us who believe in Your Son, new creations in Messiah Yeshua (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Thank You for revealing the way that You see our prayers: The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to LORD: but the prayer of the upright is His delight.(Proverbs 15:8)

We praise You for restoring Israel, for bringing us home and for building up the Body of Messiah in this – Your land.

Although not everything that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done and said has been how we would have done it, still overall he is a blessed change in the right direction from the past government. And because of that – we must hold him up in prayer.

We hold Netanyahu into that specific anointing that You have provided for Israel’s PM at this time in history.

We thank You for him and ask for Your protection over him and his family.

Give him wisdom to do and say those things that are of You. The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from LORD.(Proverbs 16:1)

Hedge him in that he does not make any decisions that bring Israel into conflict with Your plans for her at this time.

Surround Netanyahu with wise counselors – as You promised. I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning…(Isaiah 1:26)

Please insulate him from all ungodly criticism – especially from the media in Israel.

Protect his relationship with his coalition and deal with the Likud “rebels” who – although they have right theology – must recognize the political mess Israel’s previous governments have left this government to clean up.

We bless You that Netanyahu, speaking with German’s foreign minister, used the Nazi term “Judenrein“, when describing the Palestinian demand that all Israel settlements in Judea and Samaria be removed. Use that to wake up Germany and all other nations to the racist demands of the Palestinians.

We next prayed for Israel’s new US ambassador, Michael Oren.

Anoint Oren to be able to speak to America – politicians, people and media – in a way that reveals the truth about Israel’s situation.

Continue to give him favor in America – especially with the media.

Let him use Your Word when speaking.

Give Oren and Netanyahu an excellent relationship and clear communication.

Protect Oren from the “evil forces” that have seemed to descend on the White House recently – especially in terms of the new administration and their relationship with Israel.

Allow Oren to develop a good, working relationship with American Christian Zionists.

We pray these verses for his life: …a faithful ambassador is [a blessing].(Proverbs 13:17); As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.(Proverbs 25:13)

Iran remains a major concern. The recent upheaval over the elections is an answer to prayer, yet we must continue to maintain our watch in this very dangerous situation.

Lord, we have asked You to shake Iran by an earthquake. Thank You for the political earthquake that is happening today.

Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of LORD of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.

Isaiah 13:13

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

Psalms 129:5

Amen.

Do not allow Israel to listen to advice from “friends” who tell her it would be terrible for her to attack Iran. Cause Israel to make decisions based on how terrible it would be if a nuclear Iran were to attack Israel!

Give wisdom to those who are giving counsel to Israel’s leaders in this situation. Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.(Proverbs 20:18)

Increase Israel’s intelligence and protect whatever spies and sources she has in Iran.

You have brought us back to do better for us than at the beginning (Ezekiel 36:11). That cannot mean for Israel to be attacked by an Islamic nuclear weapon. Therefore, God, arise and scatter Your enemies (Psalm 68:1).

Abba, cut off all of Iran’s outside support – whether from North Korea, Russia or any other nation or terrorist organization.

May Your dealings with Iran set free of multitudes of Moslems from the darkness of Islam into the kingdom of Your Son (Colossians 1:13).

Bless and protect the Iranian Body of Messiah. Use them for Your glory and increase their numbers in these days of uncertainty.

US President Obama’s special Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, arrives next week to push Israel to stop all settlement construction and natural growth in what should legally be called “the disputed territories” – although the world labels them “the occupied territories”. Of course, we call them Judea and Samaria, the heartland of the Promised Land.

Lord, help Netanyahu and others in the government be clear in expressing what the real demand of the Palestinians is – Israel’s complete destruction.

May PA President Abbas’ real stance be exposed for all to see: No to Israel as a Jewish State; no to forgoing the “return” of the so-called Palestinian refugees;no to a demilitarized Palestinian state; no to any land compromise whatsoever; and no to Jerusalem remaining in Israel’s hands.

Thank You for hardening the enemies of Israel – and causing them make radical demands that even most left wing Israelis would need to reject.

Frustrate all of Mitchell’s arguments. In fact, open his eyes to the real situation here.

Keep not silence, O God. Hold not Your peace. Be not still, O God. For, behold, Your enemies make a noise: they that hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, consulted against Your hidden ones. They have said, Come, let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they…are conspiring against You:

Psalms 83:1-5

Protect Israel during these days – especially from all internal strife and hatred.

With the rise of neo-Nazis in the UK, along with a definite increase in anti-Semitism throughout Europe, aliyah – the immigration of the Jews back home to the land of Israel – was the next item for our intercession.

Behold, I will send for many fishers, says LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

Jeremiah 16:16

Lord, we see both these groups in action today. Please give much favor to the fishers who are trying to lure Your people back home.

Use the fear of the rise of the hunters to drive Your people into the hands of the fishers.

Abba, protect Your people from the hunters. Use Christians to hide them and guide them back to Israel (Isaiah 49:22).

Provide ways for Jews to be able to come home debt-free.

Help the Church understand that prophetically, they are to assist financially in bringing Your people home. Then you [Israel] shall see…your heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto you, the forces [wealth] of the Gentiles shall come unto you…[T]hey shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of LORD.(Isaiah 60:5-6)

Help the Jews come home now so that they can bring back their wealth with them. Surely the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of LORD your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you.(Isaiah 60:9)

Make aliyah and klitah [lit: absorption, the assimilation of immigrant Jews into Israel society] top priorities for this current government.

Thank You for raising up Natan Sharansky to be the head of the Jewish Agency. May his leadership revive the JA vision of bringing Your people home.

Thank You that the JA and Nefesh b’Nefesh are working together. Continue to bless that cooperation to increase aliyah from the West.

Fear not: for I am with you. I will bring Your seed from the east, and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, give up; and to the south, Keep not back. Bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the ends of the earth; even every one that is called by My name – for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yes, I have made him.

Isaiah 43:5-7

The goal of our intercession is for God to be glorified through Messiah Yeshua. The restoration of Israel is a major factor towards that – especially when all Israel is saved.

O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel.

Jeremiah 31:7b

Abba, we lift up the youth of Israel. They are drowning in lies concerning You. Open up their eyes and reveal to them Messiah Yeshua.

Cause the Messianic Jewish youth to have a heart to see their friends get saved.

Lord of Hosts. save multitudes of Israelis who are in Israel’s army – the IDF.

Use Messianic Jews in the IDF to provoke fellow soldiers to jealousy (Romans 11:13-14).

Abba, we hear that 20% of Orthodox youth are forsaking the faith of their fathers. May they find the faith of their biblical forefathers.

Use this desertion to cause many orthodox adults to seek You for answers and then reveal to them Messiah Yeshua.

You promised that when we were brought back to the mountains of Israel – You Yourself would give us a new heart and new spirit and even put Your Spirit inside us. Do it now – for Your holy name’s sake! (Ezekiel 36:24-27).

Thank you once again for standing with what God is doing in this nation – for His glory.

Blessings and Shabbat shalom,The IFI Team
